First phase of orthodontic treatment:
Straightening your teeth into a correct position is a first phase of treatment. Usual length of treatment is 1-2 years. The length of treatment depends on difficulty of the treatment, type of chosen braces, as well as on patient (going to check-ups, using intermaxillary elastics , cleaning teeth).
